Joey


For so many years she was my wife
Now she is just a memory in my life
Everyday that goes by
I find it hard to keep a dry eye
I was born to love my kids and my wife
Which I will for the rest of my life
I realize some of my poems are sad
Thats how it is losing someone you love so bad
All I have now are my memories of joy
Dreaming back to the days of my wife my daughters and my boy
Everyday is about the same for me
I eat I sulk I sit and watch TV
I have my first tattoo on my arm honoring my wife
With all the years she was in my life
I wear her name as proud as can be
Wishing she was still hear with me
My wife was my childrens mother
There will never be another
My love for my wife was my first my only and my past
As far as Im concerned she will be my last
I remember back to that first night when I drank some wine  
Once we kissed I felt in my heart she would be mine

Delightful warmth Michael, get away from that TV. Write about places where you and your wife have been, tell your story in your fine words. Re-walk in the park on that Spring morning, kicking the leaves in the Fall. Making snowballs with your kids, please write my man, and I shall read. Soup Mail me when you post >> James
